About this document
Swanson Oscillator: Classical & Quantum Dynamics by Irfan Hassan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the classical and quantum dynamics of the non-Hermitian Swanson oscillator, a PT-symmetric model system. It presents a full classical description using metriplectic flow equations and shows that classical dynamics can diverge in finite time despite unbroken PT-symmetry. The paper highlights the relationship between classical and quantum dynamics, particularly for Gaussian wave packets, and provides analytic solutions for phase-space dynamics.
